The raster dataset represents top location score areas suitable for cassava storage filtered by exclusive criteria: access to finance, distance to major roads and access to IT (mobile broadband connection). Access to finance and roads are defined using a linear distance threshold: • Banks - approx. 20km (0.18 degree) buffer radius. • Major roads - approx. 2km (0.018 degree) buffer radius. Access to IT is characterized applying the mobile broadband coverage map. The location score is achieved by processing sub-model outputs characterizing logistical factors for crop warehouse siting: Supply, demand, Infrastructure/accessibility. The location score from 0 to 100 is then obtained through a simple arithmetic weighted sum of the normalized/scaled grids. The top 99th percentile is selected/clipped using the exclusive criteria.

The raster dataset represents top location score areas, suitable for irrigated rice storage and processing, filtered by exclusive criteria: access to finance, distance to major roads, and access to electricity. Access to finance and roads is defined using a linear distance threshold: • Banks - approx. 20km (0.18 degree) buffer radius. • Major roads - approx. 2km (0.018 degrees) buffer radius. • Access to electricity is characterized by applying the Atlas AI Electrification map. The location score is achieved by processing sub-model outputs that characterize logistical factors for warehouse and processing sites: Supply, demand, Infrastructure/accessibility. The location score from 0 to 100 is obtained through a simple arithmetic weighted sum of normalized/scaled grids. The top location score is selected/clipped using the exclusive criteria.
